              Introduction

              Inkay is a Dark/Psychic-type Pokémon first introduced in Pokémon X & Y. It has a blue body, a light pink head with a white outline, and four yellow circles in front of it, two white tentacles from its head, two white eyes with black pupils, and a pink mouth.

              Shiny Inkay has a golden body, a light purple head, and a purple mouth.

              Evolution

              Inkay evolves into Malamar at Level 30, while holding your console upside down.

              Prerequisites

              • You need to have purchased the Hidden Treasures of Area Zero DLC.
              • You need to have beaten the main story in Paldea and Kitakami.

              Preferred Location

              The best location to shiny hunt Inkay is on the water beside the Coastal Rest Area.

              Sandwich Recipe

              The easiest way to make a Sparkling and Encounter Power: Dark Lv. 3 sandwich is:

              • 1 Smoked Fillet
              • A combination of 1 Salty + 1 Sweet/Spicy/Sour Herba Mystica

              If you don’t have any Salty Herba Mystica, then use this recipe:

              • 1 Cucumber + 1 Pickle
              • 3 Smoked Fillet
              • Any 2 Herba Mystica combination besides: 1 Sweet + 1 Sour Herba Mystica

              Tips For Hunting

              The best way to shiny hunt Inkay is to run around the water beside the Coastal Rest Area. Shiny Inkay can be noticed from far away, but it's best to look at each one closely to make sure you don't miss its shiny.
